Hello,
I think that whole "program flow" thing is something you get used to. In
true, pure functional programming (i.e. Haskell) "program flow" is a
meaningless term, basically. Haskell is a declarative language, not an
imperative one. You have to learn to give up that control and trust the

Hello list,
I'm new to Haskell and I'm trying to learn how to write elegant code
using Haskell.
I decided to convert the following small tool, written in ruby:
===
#! /usr/bin/env ruby
require 'pathname'
BASENAMES = %w{ mail.log tht
